Anybody seen this behavior with female cats that have had kittens?

[arcadian]

When I make a high pitched whistle the kitty starts to twitch her tail and freak out a little bit. If I'm sitting down she'll jump into my lap and if I'm standing next to a railing, she'll jump up onto the railing. She also does it when I make "meow" noises at her. It's like she is looking for something. I think it's because she had kittens and thinks the high pitched noise is a kitten in distress.

1. I don't think it has anything to do with kittens. They hear higher pitched sounds than we do and

the sound could be irritating.

We had a cat that was very gentle...until you played a harmonica. She would attack it.

2. I hate a kitten who would attack fruit if I was eating it. She didn't like the smell.

5. Had. I had a kitten. I still have her. CORRECTION

3. I don't know about cats, specifically, but maturity counts for something. n/t

4. I read somewhere cats take on a 'parent' role with eachother or can be the 'kitten' to a

human. When I was younger I could make high pitched kitten meows/cries of meow distress and drive our cats nuts, they'd come looking for me to 'rescue' me.

Best I could digg up quickly:

6. It's not related to maternity.

Cats of either sex react to human whistling by trying to find the source and making it stop.

It's probably painful to them.
